Came across wefeelfine.org, which is an amazing site that uses Processing for just about everything.

In one of their visualization, you can see text dropping down that is actually linked to the respective author's blog, site, etc...

I am getting familiar with animating text in Processing, but have no idea how to make it a link...

Thanks!  Glad to have found Processing.  I have a serious passion for imformation visualization and I think I finally found a language I'll enjoy experimenting with.

You can make links work with the handily titled link() function: http://processing.org/reference/link_.html

You'll have to make the sketch check to see if a click is over a link yourself however.

If you want the link to open in a new window (or possibly tab nowadays) use the second example from that page.
